    A clip filmed in north part of Gansu Province, China, showing a group of 11 dholes trying to catch bharals on the cliff. Although they failed, you can see how agile the dholes were. The dholes are the mixture of snow leopard (good at hunting on cliff) and tiger (like water) of Canid. Besides their superior hunting and movement skill, they have fire-like pelage, unique voice and interesting social organization, but it is a pity that so few zoos care about them.
